MUST BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE VIRGINIA STATE BAR IN GOOD STANDING TO BE CONSIDERED. Divorce litigation leaves everyone worse off. There is a better way to practice. If you are a Virginia family law attorney ready for a meaningful career, handling high-impact/low-conflict cases that center negotiation, client well-being, and your own sustainability as an attorney, Chowdhury Divorce Law Group is the place for you. What We Offer $140,000 - $205,000 yearly, with a flexible salary structure; you choose your plan Partnership opportunity 10% new client origination bonus Performance bonus Robust support team (experienced paralegals, admin staff, and leadership accessibility) Attorney coverage when you're out, so you can truly relax and recharge while on vacation Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) Paid Time Off and paid holidays Modern systems, streamlined workflows, and real operational stability Meaningful, high-impact family law cases, not routine churn A collaborative, professional culture where attorneys are supported, not isolated We are a growing family law firm in Fairfax, VA, and we're looking for an attorney who wants to be part of building something, not just joining something already built. For the right attorney, that includes a partnership opportunity. You'll own your cases from initial strategy through resolution, with real autonomy and the support of a collaborative team behind you. We work remotely, not as a perk, but as a deliberate practice. If you do your best thinking outside a traditional office, stay organized without being micromanaged, and find that you're sharper and more focused when you control your environment, you'll fit right in. Our systems, workflows, and client communication tools are built to support attorneys who work this way. Although the day-to-day work is performed remotely, you must be located in Northern Virginia to cover in-person court appearances as needed. The clients we serve are navigating divorce, custody, and complex financial disputes. They need an attorney who leads with negotiation and problem-solving, who communicates with clarity and calm, and who understands that durable resolutions are built at the table, not in the courtroom. We believe great client outcomes begin with a strong internal culture, and we're intentional about building both. We offer competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses, case origination opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package. Our Approach to Family Law At Chowdhury Divorce Law Group, we believe that how a case is handled matters as much as how it resolves. Every decision we make, from the first client call to the final order, is guided by a commitment to resolution over conflict and long-term stability over short-term wins. This commitment looks like: Leading with Negotiation. A client comes in ready to fight for the house, the retirement accounts, and primary custody, all at once. Rather than building a litigation strategy around every demand, you take time to understand what they actually need to move forward. You help them prioritize, and you open a channel with opposing counsel that makes a negotiated resolution possible. Setting the Right Tone Early. You are retained on a new custody matter. Before filing anything, you reach out to opposing counsel to introduce yourself and signal a cooperative intent. That one call changes the dynamic of the entire case. Keeping the Focus on Resolution. You are reviewing a draft motion and notice language that is more inflammatory than necessary. You revise it, not because the facts do not support it, but because you know that escalating the tone will cost clients more time, money, and stress than it is worth. Knowing When Court Is the Right Tool. A settlement negotiation has broken down, and the client's interests cannot be protected without judicial intervention. You move forward with confidence and preparation, because going to court when necessary is not a failure of the approach. It is part of it. #J-18808-Ljbffr
